Only reason people like labour up here is because Thatcher closed the mines etc......

Labour didn't cause the worldwide economic crisis, that led to the credit crunch and austerity throughout the developed world.
The Telegraph (not a labour supporting paper by any means) has produced a graph in this link, which shows how much UK debt there is. I will leave you to guess when Labour were ousted and when the tories took over.

Labour were popular up here well before Thatcher was out of nappies.
There were streets named after Keir Hardie, built before Maggie was even born.
